New Borderlands DLC Hinted At In Files

Thought we’d seen the last of Borderlands DLC? Think again. An enterprising PC user  recently dug into a folder in the 1.31 patch and discovered some interesting clues about the still-unannounced DLC, including references to 21 new missions and some new characters.

"There are a few things there," Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford told IGN. "But I think it's like reading a draft of a script for a movie that hasn't even been announced yet, let alone launched - yeah you might learn something, but it's not the real thing and it could just drive you crazy thinking about it."

Pitchford gave props to the community for their investigative skills and enthusiasm. "Seeing that this happened does make me want to hide some super juicy secrets in the DLC, though,” he said. “If we do, we'll be sure to hide them really good, though, so it takes more than a day to find them.”

If you're a fan of Claptrap, this mysterious download might be right up your alley. Text in the file alludes to several missions that are focused on the scrappy bots, and other details hit at several new models. Interesting stuff.

    Good news for Borderlands owners. Hopefully Borderlands gets a couple more DLC before they announce a sequel, (There's no way it wouldn't happen).

    From what i read on the files it seems that the interplanetary ninja asasian clap trap (seen at the end of the game) is trying to lead a army of clap traps to fight against all humans on Pandora. Sounds interesting to play but as Pitchford said it is still in the works but heres hoping DLC 4 is great.
